LOS ANGELES―Representatives of various organizations rallied on July 12 at Los Angeles City Hall to support the 40 million people who have quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and call for human rights in China.
At the rally, local Falun Dafa association representative Albert Roman said that the movement to quit the CCP has been going on since November 2004 and involves Chinese people from around the world, especially in China, peacefully disassociating themselves from the Communist Party and its affiliated organizations.
Falun Dafa, or Falun Gong, is a peaceful spiritual practice banned in China in 1999.
“Today we want to honor the nearly 40 million brave Chinese who have decided to free themselves from the encumbrances of being part of the Chinese Communist Party, an organization responsible for the unnatural deaths of more people than those of Hitler and Stalin combined,” said Roman.
Roman read withdrawal statements from two individuals from China.
The first statement was from student Haoqi of Jiangxi, China.
“After I learned that the CCP dissects humans alive and illegally sells their organs, and commits many brutal acts, I realized that the content of the textbooks, TV and newspapers about the CCP was all deception,” wrote Haoqi.
The second statement was from Li Yuanlong, a former reporter of the Bijie Daily in Guizhou, China. He used his real name to quit the Chinese Youth League (CYL).
In an earlier interview with The Epoch Times, Li denounced his membership in the CYL. He pointed out that the movement of people quitting the CCP has a noticeable influence on the minds and souls of the Chinese people.
Earthquake Highlights Bad Regime
“More Chinese are withdrawing from the CCP in recent months,” said Roman. “For example, during the time of the Sichuan earthquake in mid-May, the number of daily withdrawals spiked to 60,000 on multiple days. Why was there a spike in withdrawals?”
Three reasons said Roman. The first was the CCP’s refusal to allow foreign aid crews to enter the earthquake zone, waiting 72 hours after the earthquake to bring in the world’s largest all-weather jet planes that can carry engineering equipment.
“This was the most critical time to save lives,” said Roman
